Juliette Zyg Picture Studios 

5.0

Auburn, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

Hiiiii! I'm Juliette, and I've been wedding photographer and videographer for around seven years. I specialize in nostalgic and cinematic imagery and video, and lead with a documentary approach, mixed with editorial aesthetic (usually for direct flash portraits, which are my favorite). Whether you’re having a wild wedding weekend, a thoughtful woodsy elopement or a grand celebration at an estate, I'm here for it. Upstate New York is my home base, but I love to travel. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can usually find me listening to Taylor Swift, getting coffee with my husband, Teddy, or drawing in my sketchbook.

Awarded Best of Zola
Juliette was the most amazing photographer for our wedding. She was always quick to respond and very helpful during the planning process and during the day of she was able to pivot with unexpected rain, keep hopes up and was a calm force that carried us through the day. Her style of pictures is STUNNING and she was able to get our (many) family pictures done very quickly so that we could enjoy the wedding to the fullest extent. She sent us so many pictures the day after our wedding as a sneak peak and we cannot stop staring at them! She is truly an amazing photographer and I cannot recommend her more to anyone considering working with her or looking for an A wedding photographer.

Folls Flowers 

5.0

Auburn, NY
  • Florist
  • Starts at $4,500

Folls' Flowers started in 1999 with the purchase of a 98 acre farm in the Finger Lakes of Central New York. Thea Folls and daughter Heather Walz planted and cared for one acre of flowers to begin and have expanded over the last twenty years to include many different trees, flowering shrubs, perennials, bulbs and annual flowers. We are adding a high tunnel to expand our harvest season in the spring and we are also planting hundreds of new flowering shrubs including hydrangeas, hollies, spirea, pussy willows, and evergreens.

At my weddings, once the florist drops off the flowers, thats when you hear the client's most honest review. When Folls Flowers drops off I hear five star reviews and see very happy clients.

I’m getting emotional just writing this, but Springside Inn truly made our wedding dreams come true. The facility itself is STUNNING and so versatile!!! We decided to have our ceremony in The Grove (beautiful outdoor area surrounded by trees) and our reception in the ballroom, but there are so many options and different ways to use the venue that no 2 weddings are alike. The rooms we got to stay in too are also absolutely gorgeous. Antique charm but state of the art amenities. I am not exaggerating when I say the food and cake were some of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my 29 years of existence. So customizable and delicious! The chef and catering staff are so nice and talented. And last by certainly NOT least…the site coordinator, Chris, is an absolute angel. As soon as we booked the venue, she guided us EVERY step of the way with planning. She is an absolute expert on all things wedding planning and ensured the day went so smoothly. She is such a calm presence and was so attentive, helpful, reassuring, and just overall one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met!!! I feel like I will never be able to express my gratitude for her enough. Springside Inn is an absolute dream in every shape or form and I could not recommend them enough Love, Jacqui and James Married 9/28/24

Rd Entertainment Dj Services Inc. 

5.0

Auburn, NY
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,395

With 20 years of experience as a musician and entertainer, I understand the importance of flow, timing and reading a crowd. For over a decade I have been hosting and dj-ing weddings and private events. People ask me constantly what separates us from other dj services. It's simple, there is no ego or persona that is being represented. No hokey props, radio announcing or other tacky tactics. Honing in on what someone wants, is the key to a successful party. The Client is the window to the event. It just takes someone with experience to know what questions to ask in order to provide an unforgettable event that reflects your taste.

We could not have asked for a more organized, friendly, or FUN DJ in DJ Rocko!! As a dance teacher and lifelong dancer myself, the dancing part of the wedding was always very important to me. DJ Rocko was so easy to work with the I’m not exaggerating when I say the dance floor was full all night! We could not have asked for a better DJ or MC. Thank you Rocko!!!

Mascara In Her Pocket

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Auburn, NY

My favorite thing about makeup is making someone look like a better version of themselves and helping them to feel confident and beautiful on their big day. I’m a Sephora Pro trained artist and was formally a Graphic Designer. I think my past training has given me a lot of insight and has let me be able to cater to all skin types and tones.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend enough! Tiffany did the most incredible job on my wedding day, giving me the perfect natural look that made me feel like the best version of myself. The makeup was flawless and lasted the entire night without any touch-ups, despite all the outfit changes, dancing and celebrating. On top of her amazing skills, she was such a joy to work with – so kind, patient, and professional. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful. If you’re looking for someone who will deliver stunning results while making you feel at ease, she is the one! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so beautiful. I loved her so much I have used her for other events. My pictures don’t do any justice.

My name is Chelsea (she/her), and I am a Certified Wedding Planner. With more than 12 years of event planning experience, my goal is to allow you to simply celebrate. Home Town Events was created with the down-to-earth, laid-back, hardworking couples looking to do a bit of DIY in mind.

If you are planning a wedding in Upstate NY, I HIGHLY encourage you to hire Chelsea of Home Town Events. We all hear the stories of how stressful wedding planning can be, especially when you try to tackle it on your own, but with Chelsea by our side we can honestly say our entire wedding planning process went smoothly and was actually fun! Chelsea's experience, can-do attitude, creativity and organization skills were fundamental in planning the wedding of our dreams. From crafting a tailored timeline, coordinating directly with our vendors, running our rehearsal, decorating the reception to meet our vision, and caring for all of the other small details that come together to make the day whole - Chelsea is the best person for the job. We would have been lost without her both on the wedding day and in the months leading up to the wedding. Chelsea is incredible, not just in her talents but also in her character. In addition to the planning, coordinating, and decorating, Chelsea also checked in with my husband and I throughout the day - offering advice when needed, a joke when the humidity was starting to get to us, and even helped to clean my dress when wine was spilled. There is no one better to have in your corner on the day of your wedding - she'll have your back no matter what! After our wedding, my husband and I reflected on our wedding and the entire process. We both agreed that hiring Chelsea was the best decision we made. We are forever grateful, so thank you Chelsea!

Hi! I'm Courtney -- the founder and lead planner of Crown Coordination. You could say I'm your not-so-average pineapple obsessed, wine loving, adventure seeking chaos coordinator. When I say that I literally get married for a living and absolutely love it -- I mean it!

We connected 4.5 months out from our wedding - after our original venue fell through and we had to find a new one - Courtney showed up eager, confident, excited and supportive. It was important for her to build a friendship first, learn about us then dive into everything that we needed and THEN some. Her experience within the event and wedding planning industry shows immediately - her connections to vendors, advice, ideas and knowledge of how a successful day looks is a huge part of what makes her team so powerful - not to mention the extremely bubbly, funny and positive energy she brings to every conversation and meeting. To top it all off, the morning and afternoon of our wedding day was a straight monsoon - Courtney and her team did not blink, jumped into GO mode and turned our day, venue, timeline and energy around flawlessly. Crown Coordination are the people you want by your side for anything that could unexpectedly pop up! We will always be thankful for their guidance, support and incredible partnership. This is your sign to call Crown Coordination ASAP!

On our wedding day, they went above and beyond - arranging for transportation from the church to the venue when our bus didn't show up and ensuring that every little detail was taken care of exactly how we wanted it. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but the true standout was the quality of the Inn's team and their commitment to making our day perfect.

But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story.

  • Serves Auburn, NY

Your wedding can feel daunting, confusing, and downright overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be! My passion is to support you in a way that takes the pressure off, so that you can fully enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime day!

Brooke is an absolute gem and I feel so lucky that we were referred to her. I told her early on that I did not expect to personally have any fun on my wedding day, and all because of Brooke, I had without a doubt, the best day of my entire life. What a phenomenal way to kick of our marriage. We went back and forth on getting a planner, but finally decided that having a day-of coordinator would probably alleviate a lot of stress. Brooke went above and beyond what we expected from a day-of, always offering to take on tasks that seemed too overwhelming for us (finding shuttles, hotel blocks). She was responsive and routinely checked in on us formally and informally. Imagine our shock when we learned she was giving us so much attention and professionalism while she was in the middle of planning her OWN wedding just months before our date! If she was stressed by that, she never showed it, and she even offered us some advice based on her own personal experiences. I had never been in a wedding so I was not at all privy to what goes into planning. Brooke was totally on board with shirking some traditions while prioritizing what we valued most (sentimentality, personalization, guest experience). She made suggestions, but never made us feel pressured to do anything. I wanted full control over several aspects of the wedding and she never made me feel like I was not capable or stupid for, say, wanting to do my own flowers. During our meetings, she was organized and efficient and I always felt better after speaking with her. She made an effort to get in contact with all of our vendors and important people so that everyone could be on the same page for the weekend. She had never done a wedding at our venue (the Ithaca Farmers Market) and made an effort to acquaint herself with the space and (very thorough) procedures beforehand. Brooke is not only professional, flexible, and organized, She is also exactly the person you want with you on your wedding day. I have 2 ways of responding to stress – being a goof and being a snappy, rude b**** and Brooke responded to both with total grace and kindness. She gave me the space to crack jokes during the rehearsal, certainly dragging out the process, which made me feel like it was still OUR wedding and not someone else’s idea of a wedding. If something wasn’t going exactly the way I wanted (e.g. my dad forgot something important at the hotel), I would often take out my frustration on Brooke who would receive it, speak kindly to me, and smile (when what I really deserved sometimes was a slap). She has a way of making you feel seen, heard, and safe, which is exactly what you need when everyone’s eyes are on you. And it was not just me, everyone totally adored her and appreciated her presence. What was really important to me, is that to the extent there were any mistakes/miscommunications (inevitable!) Brooke always took accountability and never tried to redirect blame (even if it was not hers to accept). I really respect this in a person and did not find a ton of it in the wedding planning industry otherwise. Overall, Brooke listens, works super hard, treats you like a dear friend, lets you be yourself.

We all start this wild journey one way or another. My way? I was introduced to Ansel Adams’ work in a Photo 1 class in high school. How would the kids say this… his black and whites were giving adventure? What I mean is, they were nice. I had already been hiking the Adirondacks for 15 years at that point, why couldn’t I do it? Why couldn’t I take those photos too? I set out to prove to myself I could. Over the past decade I’ve evolved from landscapes to sports to family portraits to weddings. I continue all of those today. Never forget your roots, right?

Our wedding was an amazing day and we loved that the DJ company had our back and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Bria did an excellent job on my bridal makeup! She was very easy to talk to and we planned the timing for the big day ahead of time. On the day of the wedding, she did my makeup and light concealment for my now husband. She was very kind and professional. I couldn’t have been more happy with the result and got so many compliments throughout the night. I highly recommend her!

We could not have asked for a better wedding experience than the one we had here! From the second we met Mandy and Greg (the owners) and then toured the property, we were hooked. They are so experienced in the wedding industry and made our vision of our big day a reality. One of the best parts of our wedding weekend was the all-inclusive nature of the property. We got access starting Friday and had the venue all the way until Sunday. This allowed us to bring our decorations and start setup without last minute stress. The night before we had our ceremony rehearsal and then held a bonfire for our guests. The morning of we used their onsite cabins to get ready, and then took some of the most breathtaking photos. You can tell just how much thought that they put into making the landscape beautiful, with endless flowers. Our guests had a wonderful experience as well, with attendants for parking and constant friendly faces directing them where to go. The site for the ceremony is just a short walk from where you park and is right on the river…. gorgeous. Our other vendors were able to communicate easily with the venue owners and it allowed for our day to go by stress-free. Day of coordination is included and truly made the experience. We met with Mandy and Greg multiple times during the planning process and it allowed us to put full faith in them. The venue is spacious which is ideal for a variety of different vendors, allowing for personalization of your day without fear that things won’t fit. Meeting Mandy and Greg was fate, and led to our day being more than we ever could have imagined. We cannot thank them enough for taking our vision and making it a reality! We can’t wait to come back for future events, both ours and others, and see the venue flourish and grow.

Wolf Oak Acres made our wedding the absolute best it could’ve been! They were very responsive to any questions I had with decor, catering, makeup recommendations, bar service and beyond. When you plan with them, they will dig down deep into what your vision is for your wedding and help suggest how to make those ideas a relating. They even have a Something Borrowed closet which had just SO MUCH leftover decor from previous weddings that people didn’t want and even had their own decor available so because of this, we were able to save so much money on decorations. They had such a large variety available because that’s the worst part of preparing for a wedding. Buying all the decor yourself to use ONCE and then having to struggle on getting rid of it through garage sales and whatnot. Not here you don’t! We gave our coordinator at the venue some ideas and she ran with it and they even set up EVERYTHING for you! When I walked into the venue the day before the wedding, I was not expecting to start crying from how above and beyond the crew went with the decorations. It was absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I had wanted. They work with your caterers and DJ and photographer before, during, and after to make sure everything is going perfectly. They were there for me the entire weekend and the best best bonus they offered was lodging on site. They have 6 cabins and a HUGE absolutely gorgeous house for all your wedding party and guests to stay at for the weekend of the wedding. Plus, they’re close enough to Turning Stone so if need be, you can rent rooms out at any of the hotels there and it’s maybe a 15 drive. I will forever recommend this venue because they have an amazing crew who care about making sure you and your guests all have the best time ever!

Peter was the DJ at our wedding on 9/21/2024, and we cannot say enough good things about him! He was extraordinarily organized (which was so helpful as a Type-A bride), and his planning form brought up items we never would've even considered. When our original venue closed, Peter immediately shifted gears and got to work planning for our new venue. He took the time to edit our first dance and parent dance songs, and even tracked down an Iranian song for us that my husband had requested. And best of all, he kept the dance floor packed all night! We highly recommend him to any couples who are considering a DJ for their wedding.

We are a full production DJ company with extensive sound, light, and video options. Since 1993 our belief has been that each song needs to be the absolute best choice for that particular moment in your party – nothing inappropriate or overly cliché and no filler!

My number one wish for my wedding day was to enjoy the music and dance the night away. And the day of, I actually never left the dance floor! I knew from the moment I first met with Black Tie Entertainment that I was going to be happy with the service, and they delivered! Everyone at the wedding also got up to dance at some point and joined in the fun! This is huge for me because I have gone to other weddings in the past where I have barely danced at all due to lack of variety or lack of fun music. Black Tie is the way to go! And I will definitely reach out to Black Tie for any future major events!

After getting married here in October, I cannot recommend the Hartlot Happening enough!! The space is a beautiful blend of indoor and outdoor which was SO popular with our guests. We got so many compliments on the venue because of how easy it was for guests to mingle and chat. Everyone said it was unlike any venue they had been to before—in the best possible way! The owner, Katie, was a delight to work with and was so mindful of preserving the vision we had for the wedding even when we had to make last minute adjustments on the fly.

Remember This Day Forever

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Auburn, NY

We see your wedding day as a collection of moments of pure potential that create a singular thread of energy, echoing through the universe, rippling outward and weaving new patterns of life and memory. There is a visual language that speaks to the values we share and the connections we nurture. We play with the presence and absence of light and movement, allowing each element to reveal and conceal, adding depth and mystery to every frame. We aim to craft images that carry the art of remembering, where every detail is preserved in light and shadow. This is wedding photography for those who seek the poetry present in every moment.

Whitney and Mike from Remember This Day Forever were the perfect photography and videography duo for our wedding. Their communication was always prompt, thoughtful, and kind. They were easy to reach during the wedding planning process and assisted us in creating the vision we hoped to capture in our photos and video. It’s important to keep in mind that you spend the majority of your wedding day with your photographers, and we were beyond grateful that we chose to spend our day with Whitney and Mike. Their calm yet professional energy was so comforting, and they helped us navigate any stressful moments with ease. The quality of their work is exceptional - from the angles, lighting, and editing style. Not to mention, they deliverer our sneak peek, complete photo album and completed video in a timely manner. They captured both big and small moments that truly reflected the joyous energy of our wedding day. Our wedding day flew by in what felt like an instant, and the only thing we have to look back on from that day are our photos and videos. We couldn’t be happier that they trusted Whitney and Mike with that huge responsibility. They have since photographed our maternity, newborn, and family photos over the years, and both have a way of making every occasion feel so special. We are so grateful to have worked with Remember This Day Forever and highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented, personable photographers and videographers.

Wedding photography that matters is about the people and the feelings of the wedding day. It's not about the poses that I might imagine or the pretty details that surround the day. My passion is in finding the beauty in the REAL moments of a wedding day and preserving those to not only remind you of that love but to share it with generations to come.

Chris & Megan take incredible photos and truly capture the beautiful and special moments! We got married in Ithaca at Cornell University and leading up to our wedding day, Chris met with us and spent time getting to know us. He also informed us of things we should consider on our wedding day (such as a first look or where we wanted portraits). On our wedding day. Chris and Megan took amazing photos and did a great job directing our family during the portraits. We received our digital photos a week later and were so thrilled with how they looked! We will recommend The Story Photography to anyone looking for professional photos in the upstate NY area!
